Foley sounds are the sounds which need to be made through the vocal and body. Foley sounds can be words, claps, clocks, door slams and so on. Foley sounds are used to build a certain mood whilst watching something. We have chosen to use foley sounds to help the audience understand what is happening in the opening sequence.
Our group have decided to record a range of foley sounds to put over/in the soundtrack to create tension between the audience and the thriller they are watching. Our foley sounds consist of words which portray the themes of the thriller. We have also recorded sounds such as banging the table, scratching, screaming and footsteps. We did not make an order of our foley sounds since we could cut and arrange the sounds when editing the sequence.
We used words which made the themes of the thriller clear. "Revenge, hatred, loneliness, redemption, dear, regret, anger, remorse, payback, trapped, hurt, death, darkness, guilt" these are some of the words which we have chosen to be in our foley sounds to go with the soundtrack. We also decided to make the foley sounds louder towards the end of the title sequence so it has a big impact on the audience and so that the genre is clear. We all took turns to say the words which we have chosen and will choose them when we put them in the sequence together. We had to put the camera mic close to us so that no other sounds got in the way of our filming. We soon finished making our foley sounds.
Overall the foley sounds did not take long to make as the idea came to us quickly and we were able to record it as soon as we got the idea's. We kept the foley sounds in a separate folder in our video drive so we could come back to it when we edit our sequence.
